Push for Family Courts to lift veil of secrecy on expert witnesses
The veil of secrecy that protects Family Court psychologists should be lifted because it leaves Australians “in the dark” if experts are charged with crimes or misconduct and it fosters distrust in the court’s processes.
This is the view of Australia’s Right to Know coalition of major media organisations — including New Corp Australia (publisher of The Australian), the ABC, SBS and Nine — which has called for changes to the Family Law Act so the identity of professionals paid thousands of dollars for their evidence is no longer suppressed.
